750ml corked and caged. Dark, hazy brown pour, with a small beige head. Incoming!!!!!!! We have a barrel bomb!!! Whoa, the nose on this is all barrel. Massive notes of Bourbon, wood, vanilla and it’s very very boozy. As it warms more fruit comes through, but man this is woody, and earthy, and loaded with sweet Bourbon barrel notes. Carb is nice, mouth feel is solid. Finish is slightly astringent, medium butter finish, boozy, and fruit with mkr huge barrel notes..if barrel bombs are your thing this is for you.. This is one of the more barrel forward beers I’ve ever tasted. But the base quad is much too lost for my tastes, I can barely tell what the base beer is. Good, not great.

Purple color with a pink lasting foam. Berry aroma. Flavor is nice balance of sour acidity and sweet and tart berries. Finishes crisp and leaves a pleasant mildly sour aftertaste.

On tap at the brewery. Brown pour with a medium head. Taste was a big caramel, chocolate, and vanilla presence. Decent but not great.
